Biting the Hand That Feeds Him

More drama from 35th Street:

Fact- It seems that Mr. Mike Masters is in a little hot water. He was recently in a some trouble with Da Mayor and got yelled at. We are sensing a little trouble in paradise. Here is the best part. He was later overheard talking shit about his boss (Da Mayor). It seems that Masters now thinks he is better than the guy that put him there and we quote "can't wait for him to leave." There are eyes and ears everywhere. Let's see who lasts longer Masters or the Mayor. Any bets?

What makes Masters think he has any sort of future in this Department once J-Fled has outlived his usefulness? He's done nothing but make enemies since he got here. As another commentator pointed out, it must be galling to a Harvard educated lawyer to be taking orders from someone who couldn't pass the bar exam.

This is exactly why the totality of the department is so f'd up. Every single one of the top exempt of this department are absolute idiots driven by egos. Their decisions are made without regard to the safety of officers or citizens alike. They disregard rules, regulations and city, state and federal laws.

Beneath these aholes are another level of inept exempts, who were police officers once upon a time. This level is petrified of opening their mouths to the tip top level. That is why no logic or common sense is left at 35th Street, and nothing but lies keep rolling down hill to us and to the public.

The policemen, their families, residents, and visitors have to suffer irreplacable losses due to Daley's mismanagement of the police department.

OT:In an earlier post I commented about the seniority of guys from O'hare airport that would be sent to the new detail at MSF and TRU. For the record I dont work in any of the airports. We were just talking about it at work. Also, in response to a few comments made regarding my post-THE CITY, BY CONTRACT, CAN DETAIL ANY OFFICERS FROM ANY DISTRICT OR UNIT TO ANY DISTRICT OR UNIT IN THE CITY FOR 90 DAYS REGARDLESS IF YOU BID TO YOUR SPOT OR NOT. I am not 100% sure of is if it has to be done based on seniority or not. However, I assume that it is seniority based.

I wouldn't question Masters loyalty to Daley. I call BS on this and think its probably blown out of proportion. We have all been "yelled" at by our boss when he's not having a good day, so maybe its not such a big deal.

As far as the illegal debate in AZ goes: I would be happy if we could JUST deport the illegals that commit crimes.

I will always remember the illegal from Africa, arrested for shooting and killing a 13 year old girl. Over 20 previous arrests for violent crimes, here on an expired student visa. Over 20 arrests and we can't deport him? Crazy sanctuary City of Chicago.

THE CITY, BY CONTRACT, CAN DETAIL ANY OFFICERS FROM ANY DISTRICT OR UNIT TO ANY DISTRICT OR UNIT IN THE CITY FOR 90 DAYS REGARDLESS IF YOU BID TO YOUR SPOT OR NOT. I am not 100% sure of is if it has to be done based on seniority or not. However, I assume that it is seniority based.

They did that in 024 a couple of years back. They both were sent to 023. The reason they used? MANPOWER NEEDS. Oh, and they were not detailed. They were transferred.

Why these two, I don't know. All I do know is that one had (at the time) around 10 years and the other had about 25. They grieved it and won. They both had bid spots on 3rd watch.

Daley screams at everybody. Masters is already in the Department Daley uses to dump those he finds disfavor with. Masters will be here as long as Daley is boss and he wants him here. While we see how the Dept. is being destroyed, city hall is very happy with J-Fed. All Daley cares about is the business that the machine generates, not the fall out. No one will kick Masters out if J-Fed leaves. And, Masters will just cozy up to who ever takes the Mayors place. Just read "The Prince" by Machiavelli and you will understand Masters and even J-Fed and Daley better.

IF anyone is interested in running for Cook County Judge from the CPD please contact me at CPD4Judge@yahoo.com it is time to get some CPD people on the bench. Seeing as how the time frame has closed to file to as a republican if no one ran for one on 02 FEB 10. Anyone has till JUN 14 to 20 JUN to file to run as an independant. However there are some pro and cons to this. The pros are that you will be listed as an indepentant on the ballet and may have an outside change to win. The cons ---money, and the required sigs needed to get onto the ballet. To run county wide you will be to obtain 25,000 sigs. To run in the subcircuit it varies but about 5,000 sigs are needed. Now some of these subciruits are half in the city and burbs. So like I stated it is possilbe to get lucky. Next if you look at alot of these people who won the 2 FEB 10 ecletion have been all considered Not Recommended by the State City Bar assoc. its pretty sad. These are the people who will be hearing our cases that have no clue are are haters. SO WILL ALL THIS TALK OF GETTING Political here is your chance. I am offering to help anyone who wishes to attempt this. Lets start with the judges and if people are interested I will post the sigs required to run for the upcoming city electios. Those are ALOT less in number of the required sigs needed to run. But my thinking is no one cares about the Judges so if we get some guys with good names we have a chance. The only requirement to run for Judge is that you must be a lawyer and lived in the subciruit for a year. Those interested in running for Judge again contact me at CPD4Judge@yahoo.com those interested for the upcoming city elections contact CPDfor2011@yahoo.com

it's kind of comical that people making major decisions on this department have never been cops or even made an arrest.... even some of the newer members of our department can be heard grumbling in the hallways at the station.... the death spiral of this once good job will continue until j-fled and the rest of these useless civilians are run out of here and a real police boss is sitting on the throne....

No they can detail ANYONE out for a 90 day detail regardless of seniority!

OT:This is interesting, regarding the story about the two white girls that were attacked and robbed by a P.O.S. wielding an aluminum bat....."One woman was able to give police a description of the attacker before she fell unconscious, police spokesman Robert Perez said Saturday. No description was available Sunday, and no one was in custody, police said."....from Chicago breaking News Center on Mon Apr 26th

But here is the post of the attack from the same website a 3 days earlier on Apr 23"A police alert described the suspect as an African-American man 27 to 34 years of age, between 5-feet-7 and 5-feet-9, with a medium complexion. He was wearing a tan or light-colored hooded sweatshirt."and this is from the Scum Times on Apr 24th..."The robber was black; 27 to 34; 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-9; and wore a tan or light colored hooded sweatshirt, police said."How is it that days after the attack a "reputable information source" does not have the information they reported earlier????Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Masters of the universe calls the shots and Jfed is justa stuffed shirt. Maybe thats why Hamilton got Mike certified as a po in order to take the top spot. Well crime is the problem so watch da mayor clean house very soon like Summer.

If you look at some of the tapes for the last several months, it appears our dear mayor has some moments where he is not all there, with some of these comments and outbursts, one might consider a mental exam for him.Once he goes, the feds will then try and clean up the mess.

IL state rep Suzana Mendoza was on Fox news this morning saying that JFled's summer strike force won't work. She wants some technology to figure out where those gun shots are coming from. Hey lady, I know where they are coming from, but We can't talk about it.

Not really. The Speaker of the Illinois House wants a “Gun Control Week” declared. In addition, “Speaker of the House Mike Madigan may require that the House of Representatives remain in session until it passes Daley’s 2010 gun control package,” according to an email alert sent out by the Illinois State Rifle Association. Daley proposes the following raft of unconstitutional legislation:

HB180 – a scheme to run gun shops out of business by forcing shops to get licensed and comply with a slew of burdensome regulations.

HB5480 – would ban private firearm sales and force citizens to process private sales through licensed gun shops. (Yes, those are the same gun shops that will be run out of business by HB180 above)

HB5495 – would prohibit law-abiding citizens from purchasing more than one gun per month. Of course, criminals are exempt from this gun-rationing scheme.

HB5751 – would give you 90 days to surrender all your semiautomatic rifles, pistols and shotguns to the state police or face felony prison time.

HB5849 – would make it a felony to use a case other than one designed for a firearm to transport it and give the police greater power to confiscate your guns for “improper transportation” even if you have committed no other crime.

HB6123 – would make it a felony to sell a firearm to someone who looks like a gang member (ie: Black, Hispanic, shaved heads (all races), tattoos (all races), motorcyclists (all races), etc.)

A d v e r t i s e m e n t As a former Chicago resident, I can tell you that just about the only people on the street with illegal guns are “gang-bangers,” that is to say drug dealers and their executioners. Home invaders and assorted criminal thugs come in second. Closing down gun shops and forcing law-abiding residents to turn in their rifles and shotguns will not ameliorate the situation — it will make it worse. Home invaders will become fearless if they know the population is completely disarmed.

I lived on the west-side of Chicago. Most of the people I knew owned guns to protect themselves. If Daley and his bureaucrats pass these laws, residents will become insta-felons. Daley is telling city residents they have no right to protect themselves and their families.

Now the state wants to put the National Guard on the streets. This is basically a public relations stunt (and intimidation of law-abiding citizens) and will do nothing to end drug dealing and its associated turf war violence.

Instead of decriminalizing drugs and allowing residents the right to protect themselves, Daley and the Illinois Senate will turn Chicago into a large prison camp (or larger than it already is) with National Guard soldiers making sure the inmates cannot protect themselves. Residents with firearms will be no different than the residents of Baghdad. Armed soldiers trained to kill and break things will be assisting the cops in breaking down doors and hauling citizens off to prison.

Just a reminder do not forget, on a couple of traffic stops the drivers were recording on their phones. They were told they did not have permission but lately its happening a lot. Of course they deny it be professional regardless how ignorant these waste of human beings are

Time is short!!!This is VERY INFORMATIVE. Whoever did this we need to thank. Suggestion to get the ball rolling. I'm begging. Can we get together and name a few police officers or low level supervisors (Sgt's or Lt'S only)that we may support in a run for the office of Mayor. (Eventually we will decide on one) SCC, please make this it's own thread. Seriously, I remember a few months ago we alomost pulled off getting signatures in a few weeks. Lets nominate on of our own and then support him/her. We can make history people and dethrone the king. I have never been more serious about anything in my life. There are plenty of educated, talented, good hearted people on this job that can make a difference. Call me a dreamer but I think we can make this a reality. I'm certain that Northside would assist. For our own benefit, please people. Wake up!

Thats right, like I posted before, it must really hurt Master's Harvard lawyer trained ego to be subservient to a commuter law school trained, bar flunking, bi polar, corrupt, machiavellian midget.Thank G-D for Cecil Partee, huh mayor?Oh BTW, Masters,quit spouting off about how you can run things better than Daley and that you should have his job. That type of crap will get out. Nobody would vote for you anyway-you and Daley are roundly hated and could'nt win elections as dogcatchers .

If Masters said the alledged comment and it gets back to the Mayor, Masters will find himself writing a resignation note stating that "I enjoyed my experience with the Chicago Police Department, but I will be seeking opportunities elsewhere."

If Masters believes he will be sticking around after Weis leaves, he will find out he's joining the cast of DeCaprio and Nickelson in "The Departed".

No one should be surprised by this:1) That a Harvard law grad spent time as a political underling "executive assistant to theMayor" going around to various CAPS/Police meetings as the'eyes and ears' of City Hall before accepting his current post...is that the best you can do with a Harvard Law Degree?2) The Mayor should have known he was creating his own Frankenstein monster when he dropped this asshole into the executive staff of the CPD...no training, no credentials...did either Masters or the Mayor believe that ANYONE in the CPD would for a second take Masters's little ass seriously?The only thing that could be worse would be if Shortshanks were to install the little creep as the next Supt. when Weis moves on.

Pick up today's WSJ and read about the cuts being made to police forces across the country. Some by layoffs, many through... attrition!

The following refers to an incident in Tulsa. Sounds like something that would happen here:

At 3 a.m. on Feb. 28, a young man was shot multiple times outside Chicken Hut, a fast-food joint in north Tulsa. Three officers arrived in minutes but were outnumbered by a hostile crowd of perhaps 150 people. Some were so intent on getting their chicken, they stepped over the wounded man, who eventually died, to reach the take-out window.

Sgt. Mike Huff, a veteran homicide detective, said it took a half-hour to get enough officers there to control the crowd. By then, some witnesses had left. Police haven't identified a suspect.

Just a madball clusterfuck of incompetence, idiocy, ego and stupidity.

Perhaps while they're all rolling around on the ground yowling, shitting & pissing, clawing & biting themselves and each other like enraged alley cats; the Policeman can find a little peace and quiet.

Just ignore the noise and let 'em devour each other... Leave the remaining bones bleaching in the sun as a reminder.

Not a lick of courage, morals, ethics or integrity among these people... Oh wait! They have plenty when it comes to fucking over blueshirts and casting them as the enemy to the public instead of these fools on the streets.

But since everyone is on their head to make enemies of the Police then perhaps the "Adopt-a-Dude" strategy will work to decrease crime since everything has been turned topsy-turvy and Police now = bad in people's eyes.

Can someone tell me the last time a Superintendent ( let alone his support staff) travelled internationally? What can possibly be learned in Isreal that can't be learned out of the country that can't be learned from the US government.Guess these guys didn't hear about the recession.

THE MAN IS LOST!HE HAS NO CLUE ABOUT THIS DEPT OR POLICING IN GENERAL!A SILVER SPOON APPOINTMENT WHO IS THERE TO KEEP THE SUPT IN LINE!!SUPT NEVER HAD A CHANCE ONCE MASTERS WAS PUT IN AS CHIEF OF STAFF!SUPT HAD LOFTY GOALS ,BUT AFTER TASTE OF CHICAGO INCIDENT HIS POWERS WERE LIMITED!!

In an earlier post I commented about the seniority of guys from O'hare airport that would be sent to the new detail at MSF and Tru.................................wheelgun police at airports are trying to get exempted out. they are saying since the feds pay their salary they don't have to work the new bs unit.

there is another harvard grad running around the building calling some really big plays. how does someone with zero time on the job end up in the policy group making deputys call him sir? this masters jr must be the next hubberman

Harris is the former Deputy Supt of Administrative Services (around 1999-2000). Later, he was Blago's aide and was arrested the same day as Blagojevich. The Harris kids are in grammar school, so it's unlikely that one of them is on the job.

You guys are out of luck. The only way to will get any relief is the death of Daley and ALL of his powerful supporters. I feel for you, but your blanket condemnation of Democrats (outside of Shitcago) leaves me cold. I'm a Downstate guy, out in another state. Downstate has always supported making Chicago (we can spell it right, if we want to) a new state. It would make the rest of Illinois a whole lot better, and reduce the drain on Downstate.

It's really a shame. Chicago has all the potential to be a great city. I've spent many great days there, in past years, before I was too put off by the violence. I live elsewhere in the Midwest now, but I have a lot of friends there, who are getting nervous, even though they are great Chicago supporters and live in "safe" neighborhoods. I live in a safe neighborhood, and the local gang scum know that their life expectancy is near zero if they come here, and the local police would help me clean up before they write their reports.

The citizens of the "Shitty City" (that's what downstate teenagers called you thirty years ago) need to rise up and kick out the political gangsters. That's right. However, the ultra far-right political crap that a lot of you spew only drives those who might otherwise support you away. Find a centrist. Even if you are a foaming-at-the-mouth fanatical right-wing wing-nut, you would find a centrist better than the Daley asshole family, and far more electable. If you quibble over "how far right am I" you will lose for centuries.

Get rid of the top jerks, and the situation may change fast. If you aren't too fussy about how you get rid of them, it may happen faster. Look at the history of Boss Tweed.

Who is this tool? I thought the female KB tolded the brass what to do. Now we have a VIP male too.

Things will all change once we get a new mayor and I for one can't wait......

4/26/2010 08:35:00 PM

"Things" have been like this since Chicago was established. The roots are way too deep. This is the way it is and will always be. With Chicago roots now in Washigton its a great time for Daley not to seek re-election to keep his friends and family in the thick of things. Washington will make sure Rahm Emmanuel gets elected to keep the Democratic machine well oiled and in tune...Don't worry.

No they can detail ANYONE out for a 90 day detail regardless of seniority!

4/26/2010 08:38:00 AM

Why don't you take the time and look it up under the current contract on the F.O.P. website? Or get a contract book. You can than be the know it all authority and site the chapter and article. Why waste posts speculating? Is that how you would make an arrest? Assume that you have the right charge, probable cause, etc... This really isn't that hard! Or just lazy?

I second an atta boy section. Ironically, I was drinking my morning coffee Today and searching the Internet and I realized how negative I became about a half hour into my day. Then I realized this happens to me everyday! I've now made a resolution to not read any news outlets atleast through the summer just to see if it changes my disposition, I'll let you know the outcome. I can't change the negative things at work but I can at home.

In regards to the airport question, yes they can be detailed out, BUT, then the city has got to reimburse the feds and avaiation dept for the full pay and and costs of the police officer they detail out. You have to remember, none of these officers ( and any other city employee ) are paid for by city taxes, it's all airport money.

I am not 100% sure of is if it has to be done based on seniority or not. However, I assume that it is seniority based.

4/26/2010 01:31:00 AM

It is by seniority, if no one takes it, then it goes by reverse.

4/26/2010 12:26:00 PM

According to everyone, including the FOP, the reverse seniority is the way they are doing it, unless you are lucky enough to have a 5th 6th or 7th period furlough...Then you luck out, even if a more senior officer has an 8 or 9th period furlough, they are going before someone with a 5, 6 or 7.
